New Board Rules

Basic Courtesy:

Do not post, upload, or link to any material that is offensive or degrading because of a person's sex, race, sexual preference, religion, opinion, or preference of a fictional character's soulmate. This includes but is not limited to offensive slander targeting Africans and Homosexuals.
Respect other people's opinions, but don't hesitate to disagree with them if you can do it properly. Also respect the fact that other people might not agree with your opinions, so keep an open mind.
Flaming isn’t respecting others’ opinions. Flaming isn’t necessary.
Please do not act in an abusive or hateful manner, harass, threaten, or attack anyone on this board

Posting 101:[/u]

Topics of religious or political discussion are prohibited. Conflicting beliefs can cause disturbances in the environment of the board.
Please put your posts in the correct forum. The correct forum for your post depends on the content of your post.
Please credit the website and/or provide the URL address to the website article if you’re referring to one. Not only do people generally like to get credit for what they make, but this will also tell readers about the source's credibility.
Not all image hotlinking works. Not all websites allow their images to be hotlinked, to prevent stealing. Such websites include WF Toonzone and TitansGo.net. If you want to use their images, make sure they don't mind, and then upload it to an image hosting service, such as Photobucket or ImageShack.
Try to avoid making or replying with stupid/useless posts. This includes things like one word statements or an immature post with excessive smilies. Don't post just for the sake of posting. This includes (but is not limited to) "me, too!" responses, posts consisting entirely of smilies, and non-sequiturs.
Don't double post. You can make separate posts if they are responding to a different person/idea, but having two consecutive posts that don't really address a person or an issue is not allowed. If it's an accident, I’ll understand. If it becomes a habit, It will be noticed.
Please make an effort to make your posts legible. This includes spelling, grammar, and content of the post. At least make the effort to convey that you're intelligent and that people should care about what you type (this includes using proper grammar and spelling, and making relatively intelligent posts – this is not an instant messenger, and this is not a cell phone text message service).
Don’t forget that posting in all caps is considered shouting – people don’t like being shouted at in real life and on the computer.
Stick to the topic. A small amount of wandering off topic is natural, but discussion should return to the topic, otherwise it becomes spam.
Outside of the Kitchen forum, please limit your number of smilies. Long rows of smilies stretches the text box and makes reading the message really annoying.
Clearly label threads containing spoilers with the word SPOILERS in all caps at the beginning of the title.

Spam, spam, spam, and more spam:

The Kitchen forum has been set aside as a place for spam. Keep the spam in the kitchen and out of the rest of the board.
Threads are allowed to die. Posting nonsense in general discussion threads is spam and is not allowed.
This board is not a chat room. This board does not have a chat room. If you want to chat with a buddy, take it to instant messages or private messages.

Prohibitions:

Discussing politics, religion, gay marriage, or abortion will always lead to flames. Do not discuss them here.
This is a PG-13 maximum rated board. Because of the nature of the topic, under-age net surfers may come by. Keep writing and posting clean from pr0n and swearing.
Avoid excessive flaming of people connected to the production of the cartoon and the comic – expressing displeasure is one thing – death threats are not allowed.

Violations:

Four strikes and you’re out.
Strike 1: Warning.
Strike 2: Warning 2
Strike 3: 2 to 7 day ban from the board (based on the violation).
Strike 4: Permanent ban.

Announcements of warnings and violations will be posted in the Warning Notices forum.
